Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused
such a general revival of trade at J. r
Jones' Drug Store as their giving away
to their costumers of so many free trial
bottles of DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption. His trade is simply
enormous i'm this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and all
throat and lung disease quickly cured.
You can test it before buying by getting
a trial bottle free, large size 81. Every
bottle warranted.

Winding DER its pebbly ways,
On its PAT hway mid the lilies,
BY the breath of evening swaycd.
Listen to the dcwy mathis
or tie flowers at morn's first smile,
Sending anthems, perfume ladencd
HeaNcnward waited all the while
Listen To the bird-voiced choir,
Some with paenS loud of praise,
Some with lowest, sweetest cadence.
Songs of joys To Him upraise.
Listen To your hearts own throbbng.
Beats IL for the pure, the true
Brings the echo joy and glndncss,
Peace, good will and love To your
Listen To the voices speaking,
Speaking in the twilight air,
How the heart drinks III the music
Oh the whispers spoken there.
Whispers of the lost but loved ones
Who from MS, have parted been,
by the strong hand of the angel,
AS he gathered, gathered in.
Gathered in our hearts best treasures,
Thos on whom our life was set,
Till the soul with anguish buricned,
Though compelled To lingcr vet
Fain would enter through the portals
or deaths dark and fearful tide,
And behold the shining turrcts,
On Cncytus' further side.
